Famous quotes containing the words ships and/or built:

    Two lives that once part are as ships that divide.
    Edward Bulwer-Lytton (1803–1873)

    Nothing not built with hands of course is sacred.
    But here is not a question of what’s sacred;
    Rather of what to face or run away from.
    I’d hate to be a runaway from nature.
    Robert Frost (1874–1963)
